The Grand Canal, a symbol of Chinese culture, reflects the wisdom and effort of the Chinese people and serves as a bridge connecting China to the world. In response to President Xi Jinping's call to protect, inherit, and utilize Grand Canal culture, the series Exploring China Along the Grand Canal introduces its history and significance. This multi-volume work features regional editions, including Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shandong. The Jiangsu volume, A Journey Through Jiangsu, delves into the canal's role in water management, transportation, and cultural exchange across Jiangsu's thirteen cities. It traces the canal's evolution from a trade route to a cultural conduit, showcasing local customs, traditions, and cuisine shaped by the canal. Through a one story per section format, historical facts are brought to life as engaging narratives, making history accessible and captivating. This book also includes hand-drawn maps from the Ming and Qing dynasties, depicting the canals, seas, and lakes of the time, enriching the reading experience. Exploring China Along the Grand Canal offers a vivid journey through the past and present, illustrating how the canal has shaped daily life and regional culture. It invites readers to appreciate the enduring legacy of one of China's greatest engineering achievements.
